To mount an NTFS partition under Ubuntu you need to edit the configuration in /etc/fstab. Though, when successfully mounted there still is a good chance that the access rights to the partition are not as you want them to be. You cannot changed them with chmod command. Instead you need to set the umask for the mounted partition. In general umask 007 would be satisfying. But in case you run a service that reads from the partition as an anonymous user umask 006 is needed, e.g. an apache web server.
